Well folks, this month I officially turned into an "Old Fart!" Oh yes! My son said so. To make a long story short, he opened a piece of my mail - you know, the kind where they send you stuff telling you that you are eligible for stuff because you've reached "A VERY SPECIAL AGE!" Anyway, he says, "Look Ma! You're going to be 46 this year! WoW! You're eligible for "Old Fart" life insurance!" Thank you very much there, kid! Just remember, I will still be around when you turn 46! Pay Backs are hell, honey! :) I love you!

So, then my dearest sister, Jean, takes me out for dinner last weekend as a nice birthday gifty! Well, first of all, she stole my idea! It was my idea to go out to celebrate both our birthdays together, for her birthday is this week too. Anyway, we order some really yummy pizza and particularly ooey-good wings. I get me a bottle-o-Coors and she gets a glass of wine. So, there we are, sitting together, enjoying the company and the evening out. She raises her glass to make a toast... "Here's to Sue! Welcome to the Geezers Club!" ptpth~ AND ~What?

Well, I don't get mad! Nope! Not me! I get even ~ :) The kid will get his comeupance soon enough! But, in honor of her birthday being today and all - and her turning 57, I think I must do something very special for Jean! Perhaps an International Birthday Salute to my very best friend in the whole world - Mah Shishtar, Jean!
